Blending the influences of her modest childhood in Sharon, Kansas, with the rhinestone-studded career that brought her to Nashville, Martina decided to write a cookbook that speaks to her love of serving heartwarming food and throwing a stellar party. Around the Table features 10 party ideas, including a family pizza night (a favorite of Martina’s three daughters), a bruschetta bash, and a bountiful Tuscan feast.

Among of the standout treats in Martina’s cookbook are the playlists she includes for each gathering. Our March/April issue features the recipe for her scrumptious Zucchini, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Basil Tart, which she expertly pairs with background music by artists like Ray Charles and Dusty Springfield. For your dining pleasure, here is Martina’s complete brunch playlist. We know it will have you singing from the kitchen all the way to the dining-room table.
